List Volume 23Number 2 publication date:Dec. 2010 Back The Practical Thinking on the Use of Computer Technology in School Educational Reform:Larry Cuban’s Discourse on Technology     Author:Hsiu-Hao Liu Research Note Download There are not only the technical issues but also the historical, political, social ones when it comes to academic culture and technology reform. This paper outlines an alternative theorization which follows Larry Cuban’s historical thinking on the use of technology in educational reform. He examined the grammar of school when reformers initiated technology-based reform. This paper adopts history research and documentary analysis, then focuses on the deconstruction, verification, context and practice of Cuban’s historical thinking on technology, and finally rethinks the implications for technology-based reform in education. We conclude as follows: (1)There are dilemmas in the technology-based reform. (2)There are persistent beliefs in the grammar of school. (3)There are political issues in teachers using technology. (4)There are responsibilities of social ethics in educators. Keywords: Larry Cuban, the grammar of school, educational reform, technology reform The Study of the Relationship Between Multivariable Causal Reasoning Ability and Argumentation Ability of the 10th Graders
